" the real you...
the you you meet in the dark at 2AM"
This is my least favorite "me".
It takes effort to look past the aspects I consider flaws.
She is fearful and mostly focused on failings.
I do not look forward to witnessing her surveys.
I want to run for cover when she shows up.
Yet, she is part of me.
Instead of dismissing and shutting her out
I hope to listen with curiosity, acceptance and respect,
even when its extremely difficult and
all I want is to go back to sleep.
Choosing her (or him) is the bravest
act we can make.
Loving who we find in all our messy glory
is worth the effort, don't you think?
I'm grateful you are here.
